Yeah, and he notes why pretty shortly into the video: the PC realm copies apple. The video seemed to be complimenting apple if anything, and the level of engineering seems pretty commendable.

Regarding the tech itself, I was looking into it for my personal pc a while earlier and it seems like each module has a max of 10W as it needs to act as a heatsink along with a fan. Performs better than passive of course, but (as evident by the video) still falls short to a conventional fan in a larger chassis.

Would have been useful to compare noise levels between this and the traditional blower.

Check out the frore air jet on YouTube, it’s almost noiseless

It is not the same metric these things are much higher pressure, this has been mentioned ad nauseum In the comparisons and documentations.
